Pete Hegseth's C-32A Makes Emergency Landing
Pete Hegseth's C-32A diverted to England after a cockpit windshield crack. All passengers are safe, officials confirm.
The flight safely diverted to RAF Mildenhall in England after the crew discovered a crack in the cockpit windshield, officials confirmed.
The Boeing C-32A, a military version of the Boeing 757 used to transport senior US government and military officials, had departed Brussels bound for Washington, D.C., following Hegseth’s attendance at NATO defense minister meetings.
About thirty minutes into the transatlantic leg, as the jet cruised over the Atlantic near southern Ireland, the flight crew identified a growing fracture across one of the forward cockpit panes.
Following protocol, the pilots squawked 7700, indicating a general emergency, and began a descent to 10,000 feet, the altitude where the aircraft can safely operate in the event of cabin depressurization.
With Mildenhall’s long runways and nearby US Air Force facilities, officials decided to divert.
